Watersnake Assault - 54 lb. Thrust 12V Electric Trolling Motor with 54" Steel Shaft - SWSB54-54

Easy to mount, easy to use. Works great on my 18' pontoon boat.

Purchased a used boat that had a relatively new water snake assault that had failed. For ease of replacement I purchased a new water snake assault in July 2022 and a new battery. I hardly use the boat and got it out this month. The trolling motor is failed the battery is perfect. Speed control issues same as the old one. Contacted water snake, a pass through procurement company. Crickets for help. There is no company behind this product. Before you buy try to get customer service. Good luck. Do not buy

So far very happy

It's a bit slack in some areas-eg pull cord handle broke , prop easily nicked, etc. But the "in--out" mechanism works well, and it delivers the power needed for my 16' boat. Didn't like the design feature that requires the end of the mounting bracket to extend beyond the gunnel rim.

I bought this tiller motor 12 years ago to mount on the bow of my skiff. It has performed flawlessly. I fish primarily salt / brackish water. No corrosion issues. Works flawlessly.UPDATE - just bought my 2nd Water Snake Assault bow mounted salt water motor. These motors are tough. If you can find one buy it ! We have them on 2 boats now. They have never let us down. Hands down the best tiller controlled bow mounted salt water motor made. No need for more than 12 volts and 54 lbs of thrust on a small (less than 18ft) boat. The motor runs all day on a fully charged marine battery. Heck the motor even got me home when the gas motor broke down. It took a while and 2 batteries but we made it. Thanks

$500 piece of crap... The Watersnake website is useless. no diagrams - no diagnostics - only a couple of repair parts with absolutely no photos. I suggest using your money on a Minn Cota.

Good product for the money. Works well for my boat, 16.5' key largo. Does have a flaw though, the top part where the controls are isn't waterproof at all. This is why I give it 3 stars. I have owned several of these and all have same problem. I have taken top cover off, applied dielectric grease to connections, added oring to tiller handle, (housing has groove for oring already), and sealed cover back on with silicone sealant. Easy and quick improvement that hopefully will result in no corrosion issues in the years to come.

The package was damaged the trolling motor never turned on and no help was given
